When we install this JavaScript, which uses NodeJS, we will have an automated version of the manual process we have been struggling with for the past year. Further, the code is customisable so the researcher can query the Twitter Stream API for the specific data they require. You can read more about the CogniCity NodeJS application on GitHub.

If we can improve the processing speed further, we will have a research prototype that can be shared with other researchers who are interested in Twitter social network analysis – hopefully a post soonish will reveal this!
